[MORNING CHRONICLE.] Mr: Brougham brought forward, lastnight, his mo. lion' with respect to the manner in which the measures for the amelioration of the Slaves in our Colonies,pro-, posed by Ministers, in consequence of the. Resolutions of the House of Commons of 1823, had been carried into-effeet in the Colonies. Havins shown' that the CorOnial Assemblies had shown no disposition to give offe .to these measures, he concluded with proposing a Resolution, that the House would, next . Session, adortMeasurea to compel the .Colonial Legislatures to takOlie necessaiy . steps for improving the condition of the; Laves. This is, of course, a very deli Cate, ques tion-, • There can be no question that our West India Colonies, however high the language occasionally helm in them, are in too- helpless a tondition to be able to 6 , ppose themselves to this country. The planters are..entirely at our mercy; they can only retain . their power over their slaves, through the means furnished to - them by this country. If,. therefore, we are, deteirnined to compel - the Colonial Legislatures peiifriptOrily to adopt certain measures, they haii •no alternative- 7 they must yield Obedience.— Thir ; Auestion regards the amelioration of the ,condi tiorrofihe slaves, and not their emancipation. It is areed on all hands, that the emancipation of the eaves at this time could only be effected at the.ex.' pew:- of the destrnetion, of the Whites, sand, much Misery to the Blacks themselves. We believe it is no,Pitilowed that a profitable return can only be ob taineci, from capital in the West Indies by 'eonrpulsdry labPU'r, and that Emancipation would, .in reality, amount to a destruction of the property of the COO - ;If, then, the Colonists were called on to etnan. cipitc'the Negroes, they would certainly have a well founaell ch'tim . for compensation from those who cOm pelid; them to renounce the 'only means by which their estates were a source of income to them. But it is not proposed to deprive the master of his pro perty in his slaves, or of the means ,to compel 'them to labour. It will not be contended by the., , Planters that slavery is incompatible . with a kind• , Areatment of. the slaves Nay,, they are conStaittly inaintaining., - that the Slaves are, in gene ral' treated with . kindness and - humanity ; • and that it is - the interest . of the Master to be 'kind and Irma sitrak towards them. But it will not bc . contended that all masters treat their slaves kindly ;.nay, it, wilt be admitted, that masters are often cruel and inhuman -to the last•degree. ..Now,, why' shoUld' . there be any objection to the depriving men -of this power to do what's.annot add to the value of the property, but unisrini the contrary . ; injure it, and is, - at the same time, an abomination in the eyes of God and man Why should they refuse to agree to the measures which are necessary to the protection dale slavefrotri an abuse of power ? If the Colonial 4egislatuivswere wise, they would, for the , sake of the security of the planters theMselves, instead of seeking to invest them =with impunity, 'or to throw" difficulties in the way of conviction for cruelty, give every facility for reaching offenders, that the misconduct of individuals, may tibt re - ac t On the whole body. It will be readily allowed by the most prejudiced planters, that the condition of the slaves has been greatly ameliorated since their treatment first became the subject of discussion in Par liament. But if it is the interest of the planter to tritelffit'Slaves well, and if the discussions in Parlia ment have hail' 'the effect of, irnproiring their treat- meat, then Parliainent , reality 'promoted the inter; eta"of the* Planter. If the. measurcs2Whilt liameacall for;. with the view to secure the slaves,etill rnertAffeetually froM ill treatment, • be wisely adapted to their end, they yin in' reality enhance the Value of Wast;iiiilian property, and therefore' the elaiins for clrtipensation.are, altogether beside tl;c (3uestjon,.

[NEW TIMES.] Mr. Brougham. brought forward his motion on Co lonial Slavery last_ night,: notwithstanding that the frequent "discussion of, this unhappily irritating sub ject was strongly ; , deprecated by .Mr. Huskisson, on presenting two petitions from Liverpool connected with it. It.is by no means our.purpose to' follow the . -Hon. Member through a speech of nearly three hours, _either for the 'purpose of noticing his statements or his arguments. 'We are willing to give him, and the Gentlemen who, on such questions, usually vote with him, the most implicit credit for the purity of their Motives. We are willing to believe, that they do not see that their writings, their speeches, and' their • votes,. have. any tendency to disturb the peace of society in the West Indies ; or if, seeing and knowing their tendency to do so, that they are impelled' by higher considera tions than the peace of such a society is capable of in spiring. We wish to treat them with the utmost fair ness and.. candour. 'We are no friends to Colonial , Slavery any more than they. All that we ask, and ' we are entitled to ask it, is, that they will allow to others the same honesty and , sincerity which they claim to themselves. Why will they seek to impress upon any portion' of the public (for it it in vain to say that such is not the'effect (whether desired or not, of these motions) that his Majesty's Ministers are less cordially inclined to prosecute whatever measures are calculated to ameliorate 'the - condition of the slaves, than the .rest: of the friends of their amelioration are ? By what warmth of profession—by what ardour of ' zeal—by what strai ght-forwardness o 1 acting—are his Majesty's Ministers, to repel these repeated, impute ', .tionS 'of eoldneaS or insincerity ? Did nut the declare ! tion of Mr. Canning, in a late debate, when speaking, not as an individual, but as the organ of his cal ' leagues, sufficiently indicate their intentions and their feelings towards the Colonists and the Slaves ? Is the most ardent of the edvocates— ; we speak ofcourse of the rational advocates—of the litter, prepared to go farther than the Right Hon. Secretary declered that his ' Majesty's Government, was prepared to go ? Does it ' not strike Mr. Brougham, and those who more para. cularly act. with Mr. Brougham, that those perpetual doubts, those continued suspicions, may, by possibi ' lity, end in begetting that very insincerity which they deprecate ? With men of ordinary minds they un questionably might.' The present. Ministry, thank Heaven I are not men of ordinary minds ; and they will pursue the « even tenour of their way," undis ' turbesi by the clamours of unjust complaint, whether proceeding from those. who seek to impede their pro ' gress, or those who would goad them into. pernicious precipitation. [THE REPRESENTATIVE.] The news froA Turkey is of more importance, if true, than that which we usually get from.that quarter. The Russian and Turkish Governments, if we may be lieve the .French Papers, are coming to a collision, the u/tinzatuin of Russia being rejected by the Divan. We do not think there will be any war, after all; because we arc quite sure that Russia cannot afford. to campaign in a poor country, which would not subsist her armies. We know very well that the clergy of .Russia, being of the same church as the Greeks, would be Willing .to plunge their country. in war, out of mere fanaticism— that .the . Russian army, like all idle armies, would be glad of emplOyment-,-and that the great bulk of Rus sian statesmen feel desirous of extending the limits of the empire ; .but• another .department—the finance— which cannot afford the Means ofindulging their de 's:4es, will operate as a full.check on. their zeal :for th e piety, promotion,-and plunder, of the other branches of Russian Statesmanship.

On Thursday , a Special General Meeting of the Directors and Proprietors of this Company was held at the City of London Tavern, which was most numerously and highly respectably attended.- Among. those present we observed G. R. Dawson, • Under Secre tary of State, Esq., M.P. ; Right Hon. Col. Bagwell, M.P. ; Thomas Spring Aice, Esq., M.P. ; James Brogden, Esq., M.P."; Sir Charles Flodrer, , Bart. ; M. Atwood, Esq., M.P. ; Alderman Thorpe, &e. Ssc. Mr. Spring Rice, accompanied by many of the foregoing Gen tlemen, entered the room at a little after one o'clnelg and moved that Edward Blount, Esq. a gentleman to whom the Directors and Proprietors were so much indebted, should take the Chair, which was seconded by G. R. Dawson, Esq. M.P. with similar • observations.. EDWARD BLOUNT, Esq. in the Chair, said that he should not take up the time of the Meeting with snaking any remarks; but he should read to them the advertisement by whiela they were con vened, es that would explain to them the objects for which they met. The CHAIRMAN having read the Advertisement, which stated that the Meeting Was convened for the purpose of receiving the Directors Report, DawsoN then moved that the Report be read, which was seconded by the Right lion. Col. BAowaz.L, M.P. T. Fannxn, the Solicitor to the Company, then rend the Re port, which detailed, at considerable length, the prosperity of the Concern, and concluded with declaring a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum,, which was received with much cheering. After the Report had been read, the CHAIRMAN said, before he shoUld put the question as to whether the Report should be • received or not, he would be happy to answer any question which any Shareholder thought proper to ask him. . Mr. Sraino Bien rose and said, from the mnnner in which the Report had been received he should not trespass on the Meet ing, but was happy to perceive that the proprietary were of opi. nion that they (the Directors) had discharged the important d , that as sDir the ectori'had been imp ose d on th e m. lie Report just read be received. th u e t n ies .fo , re which, moved A SHARRHOLDER said, before the question was put, he would wish to know how could the Directors venture to make a dividend of 4 per cent. when the Report stated that there were no arith metical calculations made? Mr. Srama Rica replied, that from the frequent changes in commerce, ouch as the imports being greater one year than ano ther, they could not venture to make an annual dividend of the profits, but took an average for five years, with actual certainty of 4 per cent., and the great probability, indeed amounting to a de gree of almost certainty, of much more.—(Cheers.) A SHAREHOLDER would be glad to know, was the dividend about to be !made actual profit realized? The CH Ai nar AN declared it was. —( A pplause. ) A SHAREHOLDER inquired the amount of the bad debts which the concern had made? The CHAIRMAN replied, not 2001.—(Cheers.) A SHAREHOLDER asked, was the four per cent. about to be paid clear of all deductions and bad debts ? The CHAIRMAN.—CIear of al'..—(Much applause.)—He said it afforded him peculiar satisfaction to answer any questions put to him, consistent with his duties as Director; but there were certain circumstances connected with the management of the affairs of the company, which it would not be prudent to disclose. A SHAREHOLDER said; that in consequence of what had fallen from the Chairman, he conceived it necessary to make a few ob servations. He conceived that secrecy of any kind whatsoever would be highly injurious to the concern, and publicity of the greatest possible advantage. He was a Shareholder of the Bank of France—(Hear, hear)—and there every explanation was given to every Shareholder who should require it. And from the very excellent Report which had been just read, he was of opinion it would be highly beneficial to the concern to have the Report printed and circulated through the Shareholders.—(Hear, hear, and applause.),-He therefore would move that the Report just read be printed and circulated among the Proprietary. This Resolution was seconded by Mr. Dawsosi, M.P., who observed at the same 'time, that as a Director be most cheerfully concurred in it. The Resolution was then put, that the Report be received, printed, and circulated through the Proprietary, which passed unanimously, and with great acclamation. Thanks were then given to the Chairman and Directors, and the Meeting separated. LAw INTEIIIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 19. %maw( v. DRACE. . _ . This,was an action against the defendant, the drawer of .a bill of exchange, at.two months, dated on the Bth of August, 1826, for 8004 The defendant, since the drawing of the bill, had be come a bankrupt, but had not got Ids certificate ; he had promised to pay the bill, but had very strenuously pressed the plaintiff to prove the amount under his commission ; which course, however, the plaintiff did not choose to adopt, conceiving that the defendant was, or would be, perfectly able to pay all his debts.- Mr. SO.antxrr ,was quite , unable to: conjecture what. defence was to be set up, Witnesses were called, who proved the draw ing and endorsing of the bill to be in the hand-writing of the de fendant, and also the dishonouring of the bill. Mr. Cairn(' cross-examined the witnerei, but elicited notli!ng, anti had po,allawer to make to the plaintiff's case. Verdict for the plaintiff, SOU, with interest, 9/. 9s. AOnOROVOIr AND AN(YrliElt v. RAINSAACK. This was an action of assumpsit on the part of the assignees of Henry Morland, wine and spirit dealer,. Dean -street, Soho, a bankrupt, for the recovery of ill. 10s. the amount of spirits sold by the bankrupt before his bankruptcy to the defendant. The sale of the spirits, the act of bankruptcy, and the attorney's authority from the assignees to firing this action, were proved. Verdict for the plaintiff, 111. 101. DICK AND SI‘CALL V. COLLINS. Mr. SCAXLETT stated the case to the Jury. The 'plaintiffs have a mercantile establishment in America,. and also carry on business in England. Mr. Dick manages the business abroad, and Mr. M'Call in England. In the course of last year Mr. Dick came to London, and at that time, the two plaintiffs determining upon extending their business abroad, found it necessary to en gage a clerk here to go to Vera Crux. They did agree with the defendant, that be should go out, to serve them for threi3 years,' at 8601. per annum, and board, lodgings, &c. to be provided by the plaintiffs. The first half-year's salary was to be paid in advance, before the defendant left this country. The agreement was re gularly stamped, and signed lit July last. 1751. was advanced by the plaintiffs to the defendant, as part of his first year's salary ; and the defendant was to have sailed with Mr. Dick in No vember last. A birth was provided for the defendant in the Hopeful, which sailed oh the sth of November last. Mr. Dick then sailed, but the defendant refused to go, though part of his luggage had been put on ; board. The present action was brought, not for any damages, but to recover back the 1751. that had been paid on the faith of the defendant's performing his contract. Mr. Scarlett did not know what the defence would be ; he understood that the defendant's wife, not wishing to part with him, would net let him go. John M'Call, a clerk, proved the agreement to have been all in the, hand-writing of the defendant. The ' plaintiff's' firm in London is in Welbrook: The money Was paid by witn ess t o de fendant, on condition that heihnuld perform hie agreement. The Hopeful was principally laden with muskets. To prevent the public being inforthed that she had military stores on board, to take to Vera Cruz, it was announced that the ship was to sail to New Orleana. The defendant knew' of the nature of the cargo before he agreed to go by the Hopefti,l Win. Kinching, one of the owners of the Hoptful, reserved a birth for,defenclent; fait , defendant come on board at Gravesend to take out his trunk and bed again, alleging he could not get his affairs settled early enough to enable him to go then, but that he would, sail soon afterwards by the Atlantic front Liverpool, but defendant never left this. country. 'Mr. GURNSY went to the Jury upon this ground, that though the defendant,hadincautiously consented to Hail by the Hopeful, yet, afterwards learning that she was to perform an illegal voyage, and to early a cargo that would render her, and all on board, liable, to seizure, .and no other ship having been offered to him to go by, his refusing to go by the Hopeful, was no breach of his agreement, He bad been urged to make other points, points respecting the conduct of the plaintiffs to defendant, ,ice. but b e did not, conceive t h at h e cou ld do so with good e ff ect , an d therefore he w ou ld only prove th e order of the P r i vy C ouncil, forbidding thk e hi pp i og o f m ili tar y stores, which in hi s op i n i on would be suMciera, The Order of the Privy Council was now put in and read t but . the word Wittatt was n ot to be found in the order. Mr. Gvanev deliped offering further evidence.-...Verdiet for plaintiffs, 176 1.-,-Casts, 40s. The COURT —If the word musket had even beenin the ,- orderi I shoull have delivered-my opinion in favour of the plaintiffs; be cause I think, if the defendant really ditt noteailhy the Hopeful, in conseittence of th e sia t u re of .her cargo, it wachiaduty to have given that notice immediately to the plaintiffs, and to have de sired an opportunity of going by another ship, or to have re turned the money. POIACE . INTULIGENCE: Tirr PM CHARITABLE.' MANSION-HOUSE.--Yesterday a Deputation from the re tail Silk Dealers and Linen ])rapers of tine West End of the Town, waited upon the Lout) MAYOR, for the purpose of making a com plaint against the Spitalfieldh Weavers' Committee and the Dis tressed Manufacturers' Committee. The LORD MAYOR upon hearing it publicly- declared, by the Gentlemen who formed the Deputation, that they were about to bring charges against so disinterested and respectable a body of Noblemen and Gentlemen, asked the name of their spokesman. The person appointed to conduct the matter, said . his name was Johnson. • He stated, that they waited upon his Lordship, in order to prefer the complaint against the Committees specified, in the ex pectation that the conduct they were pursuing would be departed from as soon as possible. It appeared, from the aulvertisements in the PUblic Papers, that those COmmittees had been opening houses - at the west-end of the town, for the sale of manufaCtures, and were actually selling goods at an immense sacrifice. The retail dealers at the west end of the townwere convinced that this was a perversion of the funds of the charity, which would by no 11101%11i assist it, and was besides calculated to injure the trade of those who had, after great expence, time, and itiduatry; established themselves in business. _ _ _ The LORD MAYOR asked (with a smile) what evidence the . Gentlemen had of the guilt of the Committees ? lifr. Johnson replied, that the ,advertisements in the News papers fully proved that the Committees had established the houses for the sale of the goods. He then' quoted an advertise ment from a house in New Bond-street, and another from a house in Oxford-street, in each of which it is stated, that. manufactured goods, to the amount of something less thin 100,0001: were for sale, for the relief of the distressed manufacturers, at 40 per cent. under the trade price. Those advertisements were quite sufficient evidence of what the Committees had done, and were doing. Mr. HoßLrn, who, with difficulty refrained from bursting into a laugh, said, " Why, don't you see 'tit all a puff—the charity puff is the best puff of all. The Committee, having nothing to do with it." The LORD MAyon assured the Gentlemen of the Deputation that he had attended the Committee, and that he was convinced they had nothing whatever to do with those houses which stood forward so kindly in behalf of the distressed. The Committees had neither purchased nor sold goods at all upon any occasion. Mr. Johnson said, his Lordship was not probably aware of the whole of the proceedings of the Committees, as he might not have attended frequently. If the Deputation were provided with no more than an isolated case, there might be some reason for believ ing that there was no foundation for the charge; bid advertise ments were issuing daily from a number of houses. Mr. HOBLER—" Tobe sure, puff againSt puff; that's all." The Deputation—These advertisements are issued in the name of the Committee, and if they do not sanction them, they ought to contradict them. The Loup MAYOR asked whether the shops in question had the appearance of doing a great deal of extra business in Collic:.- quence of their liumanity?,—(A laugh. )—lt was said that nothing of the kind had been observed. His Lordship repeated, that there was nothing to be appre hended from the Committees. He had, he admitted, been applied to by several ladies of rank, for information, whether they would benefit the charity by purchasing of the Spitalfields' Weavers, to which he replied, that the trade would be as much served if they dealt with their own tradespeople. Mr. Hontra said, it was most preposterous to suppose that the Committees would act as was suspected. The poor people Whom they were serving, had no stock at all, instead of having 90,0001 . or 100,0001. worth. GUILDHALL.--Mary Hosier, the young woman charged by a Mr. John Watson, with having deprived him of a sovereign,. by affirming that it had-elided down- her throat in company with an oyster, was brought up , for re-examination yesterday, when Mr. Watson said he did not wish to presi the matter further, as the young woman had-found the sovereign, and restored it to him, and seemed very sorry for what bad happened. " And where•was it found, after all ?' asked the Magistrate. • " Why, Sir," replied Mary, " it slipped down my throat sure enough, and"4--but we cannot give Mary's account of the process by which she recovered it ; and must - content ourselves with stat ing that she was discharged, and Mr. Watson walked away, with hit sovereign in his pocket again, as comfortably as if nothing had happened to either of them. Fred. Laybourne; a manufacturer of gentlemen'. stocks, was charged with stealing seven pair of gloves from Mr. Kipling, the hosier, in the Poultry, and 10 pair of half-hose from Mr. Kip ling's, in Cheapside. Offering the goods for sale at a hosier's in Middle-row, Holborn, with the marks on the wrappers, they were sent to Mr, Kipling's for inspection, who identified the pro perty, and remembered the prisoner had been applying in the course of the day for 'orders. He made no defence, and was com mitted. Messrs. Kipling stated they bad missed goods for months, and one hosier in Holborn had admitted buying lots of the pri soner to the amount of 401. and another to 301. MARLDOROUGII-STREEL—A young man, named Wm. Scott, .waa committed for 15 days, to hard labour in the House of Correction, for having, in violation of his contract, withdraWn himself from the employ of Mr. Holland, a coach-smith, and gone into the service of Mr. llolt, of the same ti Ade.
